<i>"Bring on 2009, 'cause it can't be worse than 2008!!!"</i>

If the TF keeps doing what it did yesterday and today, seven-figures by 4th of July is in sight.

Viva la return of the Russell 2000 futures to directional glory!
 
Good omen last trade of the year +105. Although it just as easily could've been a loss and I probably should not have been trading on such low vol.

2009 is going to be the trading year of the century. Best wishes achieving your 09 goals.

Last day of the year, it was slow but in the end+ $6K to my account. All together, for the 2008 year, I made 168K plus 22K for the taxes (hope it is enough).

I think thanks are called for. So my sincere thank you to all of you on ET, especially AustinP, Saliva, Lescor, T28, and many many more who through thert posts and e mails helped me in my journey and allowed me to bank this $$$$. I have already wrote checks (5K) to various organizations devoted to help less fortunate among us and lent some $$$ through micro banking (0% of course).

See you in 2009!

Happy New Year to all!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

That said and in the spirit of this thread launched by Szeven one year ago, it'd be very nice (and fitting) to see <b>RedInk</b> launch the P&L 2009 thread. Instead of someone random who never posts in this forum starting a new thread, best to have one of the most consistent posters launch the new year correctly.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I humbly accept.

Another good year. Thanks to all the regular posters. You guys rock.

:cool:

+ $11

I am mad about some shake-outs eating nice profits today, but I learned something about playing a fast moving stock in a fast moving market. I am happy to end the year with a green post! It was a close call (almost -$1.24), but I got a tiny partial fill at a ridiculous price far from the ask on an after hours order which put me in the green.

Many thanks to 1Reason, Bighog, Neke, PatrickQ, and Red_Ink for answering the many questions this new trader had over the past months.

My goal in 2009 is to make $100K, though I'll settle for making a living :p I don't know what else I can make a living at, so here's to my success!

Happy New Year's to all. Best of trading in 2009.
